The camera on the 1520 is pretty decent but my expectations are pretty high too! I haven't had enough time with this camera and things will get better but I get the initial feeling that the RAW (DNG) file is a bit cooked to begin with a la Sony! Also, f2.4 means that while it will allow enough light to pass in, the DOF being shallow, the focus has to be spot on and I thought it was slightly inconsistent. Also the WB affected the color of the flower outdoors but the fruit basket indoor came out pretty good. These are all given a quick worout in LR.
